The story worth telling
A fast montage can hide the point you are trying to teach. If the explanation is about hand position, frame the hands and leave enough time to see the change. A single well-explained movement is a stronger subject than an entire workout squeezed into a reel.
Three things to capture
- The starting position
- One complete controlled repetition
- A closer view of the cue you explain
Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.
Give the edit a shape
Show the full movement
Return to the specific cue
Repeat once with the cue in mind
Before you share it
Review the instruction for the intended audience. Avoid implying that one demonstration is suitable for everyone.
